Note: If you have a guest room/couch/space available for out-of-towners, pls. note here (I already have 2 guests & the requests are still coming in. :) Thanks, @SheilaS)
Sadly, I don't have rooms available, but happy to give suggestions on restaurants and other fun things to do about town as well as being available if you're lost with direction info. We just created a page on this site that will give you a discounted rate at our corporate hotel of choice - Embassy Suites Town Lake.

I know lots of vegan/vegetarian options around town if there are any questions there. Will be hitting mostly electro, dance, and house shows among a few others. Live around 32nd street, small place that really only fits me. HOWEVER, if you can get me into the IHEARTCOMIX vs MAD DECENT 21+ show on Friday you may be my honored house guest and I'll love you forever. I'm beyond serious, please contact me.

No spots left in my S. Austin house, but willing to show visitors around town. Love playing tourguide and meeting new people. Feel free to add me on Twitter if I know you personally or not (even if my account is padlocked)!

Happy to answer Austin questions.
I'll be busy escorting some visiting journalists around town and so will get in less SXSW time than usual. :-(
